Red Lentil & Chorizo Soup

Share

This Red Lentil & Chorizo Soup is a real winner in my house. We are big chorizo fans in my family. Chorizo is a Spanish sausage made from pork meat and lots of spices including paprika. These spices give it its intense flavor and color. I love to add it to soups and stews for an unbeatable depth of flavor. 

Start this soup by frying chorizo until it is crispy. Fry onion, carrots, garlic and cumin seeds  in the chorizo oil before adding paprika, sugar and vinegar. Add lentils, tomatoes and chicken stock and simmer until the lentils are tender. Blend and serve garnished with yogurt, olive oil, crispy cooked chorizo and a sprinkle of paprika. Enjoy!

To make the Red Lentil & Chorizo Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

When I made this I was expecting more of a spicy taste, which it didn't have. But it was still delightful.

Jazlynn Mhoon

I'll be making this again but this time with a bit more spices, there wasn't enough flavor in it for me.

Elodie Buechele

The recipes on this page are the best, I bookmarked this and the Kale mushroom salad, my two favorites so far.

Sky Grothaus

Going to be sharing this recipe with my close friends so that I can see what they all mix with theirs and get some more ideas for it, delicious.

Great recipe, the chorizo and paprika blend well together, thanks for sharing.

Carla Romane

Tasty and easy to make, couldn't ask for a better bowl of soup.

Jurnee Domnitz

I'm happy with how it taste but I don't like the amount of time I had to put into it since it's just a soup.

Kairi Godsy

I added chicken meat to mine because I'm a huge meat lover and I really liked it! :)

Vivianna Policicchio

Very filling for a soup, I recommend that if you make this to just have it with some bread and not another meal, this will make you full.

Austyn Wyeth

Going to be honest, this plate is the BOMB, I'd recommend this for people who have a love for soup and chorizo!

Zaria Vinette

Chorizo with paprika sounded a bit odd to me since I've never made anything like this but in the end I have no regrets, I'm very pleased.
